Visual Research / Visualising Research Lecture

This was a great lecture given by Dan on the difference between visual research and visualising research. Dan pointed out from the perspective of Gillian Rose, who wrote the book Visual Methodologies: An Introduction to Researching with Visual Materials, that "Empirically grounded responses to a particular visual material" (Rose, 2016). What I found interesting at this point was the fact it is very much linked to materiality and within its connections towards my own practice whilst supporting my chosen question for this module. 

The screenshot shows Dan's lecture and some of the books mentioned to explore.

Below are notes taken from this lecture that I found useful to me and how I want to respond within my own practice. From hearing this lecture and taking notes, I found myself starting to see the difference between the terms visual research and visualising research, which I already do in my practice and have been already for this module.

Overall, I found myself considering my current stage of working practice within my research and where I see myself going next. Ideas and considerations started to become apparent to me such as:

• Consider a series of experiments 
• I will develop my own way of working 
• Document the process as this is just as important
• Talk about your practice
• Can I generate ideas through materials 

These were just some of the key areas that I found myself thinking about exploring next. I am excited by the next stages of my current research practice and see where it will take me visually.
